Undeniable Fact 2 – Gold Inventories in Europe and the US Are Collapsing

This may seem like a trivial point to raise, but it’s actually very, very important. Remember that gold has been the de facto currency for thousands of years, and it has been the most sought after safe haven when the future is in doubt. When you wanted a safe place to put your money, you always bought gold. Always.

This principle is well understood by central bankers all over the world, which is why it would make sense for them to prop up the value of their currencies by pushing down the value of gold. I know that sounds a little bizarre, but it’s the best explanation for what I said on Monday:

When the price of something is too low, it disappears from store shelves and warehouses – assuming that there are no problems with delivery or production. That’s how the real world works. Well, the gold inventories at the COMEX and the gold ETFs have been rapidly declining over the past few months. Furthermore, countries like Russia and China have rapidly increased their gold imports. China alone officially imports over a third of the world’s gold production.

My comments on Monday were actually too conservative. Yesterday, I saw the Open Letter to the World Gold Council written by Eric Sprott. Did you know that the amount of gold being bought, around the world, is more than double the total production of gold in the world?

Let’s think about this for a second. If the sale of gold is more than double the production of gold, the price of gold should go up, but it’s not. Worse, it’s actually gone down.

That makes no sense.

Well, it makes no sense if nothing is wrong, which means that something IS wrong. In fact, there’s a $150 billion a month wrong. That’s the amount the US government borrows every month ($65 billion), plus what the Federal Reserve produces in the form of Quantitative Easing ($85 billion).

This $150 billion is being ‘printed’ out of thin air. Normally, all of that would jump into the economy and turn into inflation, but the Federal Reserve has been able to suck up some of that extra cash by bribing banks with interest payments to keep it locked up – but only some of it.

Lots of cash is entering into the economy and driving up prices. They’ve been able to minimize some of the effects of this inflation by lying about it. The US government claims that inflation is less than 2%. But, if we computed it the way we did pre-1980, inflation would be close to 10%. Lying has helped, but not enough.

Enter gold manipulation. By pushing down the price of gold, the US dollar looks good. Oil producers still sell their oil for dollars. Foreign widget makers still sell us their widgets in dollars. Foreign investors buy stocks and bonds and real estate in dollars. And, they hold on to those dollars, which takes dollars out of circulation – reducing inflation. Widget imports are also cheaper, which also keeps inflation down. That’s why many economists talk about the US having exported her inflation. But, all of that is starting to unravel.

With gold artificially low, big players like China, Russia and India are buying as much as they can, which is why the COMEX and many of the gold ETFs are running low on gold – and why, according to many gold experts, there’s very little gold left at US and UK gold repositories. But, even if there is a lot of gold left for sale, there’s no way that it’s going to sit around long while it’s at such artificially low prices.

Implications

When the gold is gone, the price of gold will rise, downward pressure on the value of the dollar will increase, and a lot of ‘something wrong’ will be set loose on economies worldwide. It’s really only a matter of time.

The question is whether you are going to let this opportunity pass you by. Gold and silver are cheap, right now. When they stop being cheap, the failure of the global economy will not be far behind. When that day comes, you will wish that you had more gold and silver.

Are you ready for this?

I have to disagree, the gold market is very small in relation to stocks and bonds. It can be manipulated for a very long time before it will be forced to reflect real numbers. You can still buy physical gold at spot prices, when that changes in a big way then you will have upward action. Only when the general public starts buying in a large numbers will the manipulation have to end.

Remember that the suppression of the gold price is an attempt to influence PERCEPTION of the value of the dollar. Therefore, the size of the gold market will be unimportant. Actually, the size of the gold market helps the manipulators.

Here’s the bigger question: “How much gold is left?”

I think that the answer is: “Not very much.”

Get your gold while the price is so low. Those of you in the US should buy from Steve Quayle. Go to his website at http://www.stevequayle.com, send him an email at info@stevequayle.com, or call (406) 586-4842. Steve is the most honest gold dealer that I know. (And I have ZERO financial incentive to say any of what I’ve said here.)

Thanks again for your comment, Jay.

PS. The OTHER reason why ‘they’ might be manipulating the price of gold is that they’re essentially trying to buy as much of it as they can, for themselves. After all, the super rich will need lots of gold when everything falls apart.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
